Greetings again everyone! I'd like to begin this update with an apology to our latest writer, A.E. Fraser. I introduced her last week with a link to her first review, but a technical database issue turned my introduction into a gobbledygook of code. The issue has been temporarily addressed and a more comprehensive solution is in the works.

A.E. hails from the great U.S. state of Virginia and specializes in the heavier, more theatrical end of Japanese music, a scene that is as diverse as it is bottomless, and one I hope A.E. will bring some much needed focus to. So once again, I'd like to welcome A.E. to the website and present her first review: Gothic metal stalwarts Moi dix Mois' forth album, the rhythmic, industrial tinged Dixanadu. Enjoy!

We also have Jackson's considered take on Sri Lanka's musical extremists, Genocide Shrines, a band that has taken the horrific realities of genocide and mass slaughter and fused them with the more esoteric corners of Hindu scripture and eschatology in a black-death metal onslaught. Go head, stare into the abyss.

In this update, David Sano discusses at length Vallendusk's eponymous 2012 debut EP,a release that further advances Indonesia's position as a major player in the global metal scene with an elegant, bright, all-enveloping sound. At a glance, their music may suggest an affinity for other atmospheric bands like Alcest, Lantlos or Deafheaven, but Vallendusk draws on personal and local cultural influences to create something that is all theirs, and theirs alone. Read David's review here:

Hola amigo/as, in this update AGM veteran Lefteris offers an intriguing take on The Love Album - Volume I, As Light Dies' latest collection of bleak experimental metal. This Spanish band has added more melody, finesse and direct emotion, but still packs a punch, taking the listener on a convoluted psychological journey down the corridors of the aching heart called love. Check out the review here:

If you're in the mood for something a little out of the ordinary, a little more cinematic than usual, Italy's Thee Maldoror Kollective have spent the last decade or so wandering down a path much more colorful and exploratory than the black metal road they started on, but no less bleak, eccentric or oddly atmospheric. I have reviewed their latest album, Knownothingism, for your pleasure. Enjoy the sensory overload!

Please enjoy another short but sweet update, this one a review of SubRosa's mighty 2013 album, More Constant Than the Gods. With only six songs, it represents a gloomy milestone in the world of sludgy doom, offering more mammoth riffs, dissonant violins and intoxicating melodies than you can shake a gem-encrusted staff at. en son hd pornoları indiryeni pornofilm hdvideo hd xxxtube hdhd tv sinema

We have but one update for you this week, but it's a review of the latest album by one of the classic bands that helped define what this website is all about. After years of Icelandic odysseys and Nordic explorations, art metal legends Solefald have returned to the wild frontiers of globalized extreme metal with one hell of a wild and entertaining ride: World Metal. Kosmopolis Sud. Those hoping for Neonism Part Deux may be disappointed, but why waste tears when World Metal is so fresh, original and remarkably good?

Greeting loyal readers and general web denizens, for today's update we're taking off into a more spacious ethereal sphere, somewhere in the hazy layer between Terra firma and the vacuum of space, with a brand spanking new effort by Dutch ambient occult artists URFAUST, and SÓLSTAFIR's latest expansive rock epic, Ótta.
